Beautiful, Comfortable Home with Exceptional In-Town Location

Welcome to Moose Manor Bar Harbor. This is our home, and we would love to share it with you! Located on Federal Street, Moose Manor is a 1904 New England-style house with all the upgrades and conveniences of modern living. Freshly painted throughout with exquisite, fully-equipped designer kitchen and a fully updated bath. All the comforts of home in one perfect location, walking distance to everything.
There are 3 bedrooms which comfortably sleep 6. One bedroom has a queen bed, the second has one full and twin bed, and the third has a twin. There is one bathroom (with a wonderful claw-foot tub!) on the second floor. Each bedroom includes wall mirrors to reduce demand for bathroom mirror time. Master bedroom includes a dressing table with light/mirror. All bedrooms have abundant sunshine and ocean breezes.
The front of the house features a wonderful enclosed porch with a bistro table/chairs, rocker and futon. Perfect for morning coffee or an afternoon nap. The soft sound of local seagulls is often present.
In the back of the house, just off the kitchen, you'll find a small wood deck with a Weber grill and chairs to enjoy the cool afternoon breeze while your steak is grilling.
The kitchen has everything you'll need if you choose to prepare some of your own meals during your stay, including some basic pantry items for your use. Top-of-the-line small appliances (including Bunn coffee maker!) are available as well. Other items include Belgian waffle maker, 4 slice Cuisinart toaster, blender, food-processor, Crock Pot, pots/pans and bake-ware as well as an OVER-SIZED lobster pot for boiling your own 'catch' right at home! Easy instructions provided.
Although you'll probably want to get out and enjoy all that Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park has to offer, the home is also supplied with 'rainy day items' should you choose to stay indoors. 32' LCD TV, DVD player, iPod dock/radio, and a wide selection of books, DVDs and games are available for your enjoyment.

About Paul Strathman

We are Paul and Joy Strathman and we have lived in the Midwest for the past 20 years. It all began when we took a trip to Maine, simply because we'd never been there before.

Since then, we've been back to various parts of Coastal Maine every year and while we enjoy all the towns we've visited, we have fallen hopelessly in love with Bar Harbor. As so often happens when one visits a very special place, one's mind wanders into the possibilities of someday living there.

Moose Manor Bar Harbor is truly a dream come true. This 1904 New England-style residence is perfectly located right in town; walking distance to everything. We have filled Moose Manor with things we love and have included all the comforts that we enjoy when we are there. We hope that you will enjoy our very special home and likewise fall in love with Bar Harbor.

Paul Strathman purchased this house in 2013

What makes this house unique

While on one of our early visits to Bar Harbor, we went for a walk. As we passed by this house, my wife said, 'Paul, please buy me that porch!' We both chuckled and continued our walk. Little did we know that we would not only someday buy the porch, but the wonderful home which sits behind it as well!

This inviting home has been lovingly cared for by each owner since the house was built in 1904. We are only the 4th family to own this property. The warmth and charm of Moose Manor is captivating and it's fabulous location cannot be beat!

Relaxing and Refreshing

This was my first visit to Maine and the Bar Harbor area. The town is adorable and the sights are absolutely beautiful. Moose Manor is located right in the middle of the town on a very quiet street which is in walking distance to almost everything. What I enjoyed most was the comfortable homey feel Moose Manor provided. The home had fresh towels, snacks, and lots of space to spread out and not feel cramped. This vacation can be packed full of sight seeing or it can be made low key. We did a little bit of both. So after a busy day hiking or taking a boat tour. I found I was just as content relaxing with a book on the covered porch or even take a nap! Awesome week! I will definitely take my family back to Moose Manor!

Gem in Bar Harbor

We loved our stay at Moose Manor! This home is in the heart of town making it easy to walk to most everything while in Bar Harbor! The house is in excellent condition and beautifully decorated to make sure you have a comfortable and enjoyable stay while in the most charming area of town. We loved our morning coffee and a nice glass of wine in the evenings on the wonderful front enclosed porch! The bedrooms have the most comfortable beds with ample storage to unpack your luggage. The bathroom even has a vintage ball and clawfoot bathtub! Just adorable! The kitchen is a cook’s kitchen with new stainless appliances and anything you could possibly need to make a gourmet meal or lobster feast! We took advantage of the new washer and dryer available to us to keep up with our laundry needs during our stay. The owners have really thought of everything you could possibly need.

Everything is an easy walk to restaurants, shops, grocery store and of course, the beautiful harbor! We loved walking around town popping in various local shops during the day and finding a new spot to have dinner at night! Bar Harbor is truly a special place to be.

The owners were easy to work with and prompt with communication. Paul made sure we knew he was available for any questions or concerns before and during our stay.

We can’t wait to return to Moose Manor!

Lovely Autumn Trip

Had a lovely time in Bar Harbor- the accommodations were wonderful. The location of this home afforded me the opportunity to easily take in the sights.

Enjoyed the front porch with a cup of hot coffee on those cool mornings. Hope to come back some day.

Fall colors and beautiful locations

Great location to walk around town and be involved in the local activities. Loved sitting on the porch sipping tea or wine and enjoying the weather. The kitchen is well appointed and clean as was all the house. Look forward to returning!

Beautiful, comfortable and feeling of home

This was our first experience with VRBO and this home in Bar Harbor created an environment for a wonderful vacation. It is close to everything in town and the waterfront is a 10 minute walk. The home was clean, and comfortable, with all the necessities you would need wether you want to just sleep there our come back with some fresh Lobster to cook for dinner which we did a couple of times. Acadia national park is right in your backyard and has a lot of tails and views to enjoy. we went and watched the sunrise from atop Cadillac Mountain and spent an afternoon with a picnic, bottle of wine and a couple of towels on a seclude path overlooking the ocean. Our favorite place was a trip to Southwest Harbor and sitting on the Pier at Beal's Lobster Pier. The food was delicious and we enjoyed watching the working pier with the lobster boats coming in and unloading there catch.

We would highly recommend Moose Manor for your stay
